My /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo reads ======================================== [base] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/ mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-$releasever enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 ======================================== I've looked up the nearest repositories in <http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/> and assume that I should edit fedora.repo as below. Is that correct? Do I actually need to specify ARCH? ======================================== [base] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base baseurl=http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/$ARCH/os/ http://ftp.esat.net/pub/linux/fedora/3/$ARCH/os/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 ======================================== I haven't seen any documentation for this. Is there some? "man yum" doesn't seem to cover this. Incidentally, does yum still read /etc/yum.conf ? Mine reads ========================================= [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 retries=20 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1 # PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo # in /etc/yum.repos.d ========================================= Is that reasonable? Should I specify ARCH in this file? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
